  How to remove embarrassing photos from social networks

  Publié: janvier 26, 2015, 1:21pm CET par Sead Fadilpašić

  

  Sharing photos and videos online has never been easier. Internet access is available practically anywhere and everywhere, and interconnected wearable and portable devices with photo and video recording options are omnipresent.

  In such a world, getting the wrong material posted online can become a huge problem, especially for teenagers unaware of the consequences.

  So how big of a problem is it?

  In a recent study conducted by Northwestern University, 29 percent of surveyed Facebook users reported losing face from embarrassing content posted online.

  And teenagers have been victimized by others, posting unflattering pictures online without their consent. Some even go to the extent of posting "revenge porn" -- posting explicit images and videos of people without their consent.

  One in ten former partners have threatened to post such materials online, and according to a McAfee study, 60 percent of those threats have been carried out.

  Images posted online are very hard, maybe even impossible, to remove. Embarrassing photos can lead to humiliation, dismissal from work, and loss of self-esteem, among other things.

  How to remove your embarrassing photos from Facebook

  There are six different options when it comes to removing photos from Facebook.
